I’ guess I’ve been lucky in that I’ve never really received a “bad” gift…the only thing that comes to mind is being a child and wanting something more than anything, but receiving the cheap knock-off version of it and not the name brand item :p.

So now, I’m always careful to buy the exact item my kids ask for, because I still remember the disappointment I felt!

The worst Christmas gift I ever received was from my ex-mother in law, she made me a topiary tree out of a stick, a round Styrofoam ball, and some artificial flowers. It was really not good. I did use it in my house though because she made it for me.

It was a RE-occurring t;hing. Ever since becoming an adult…. I just STOPPED wearing T-shirts or sweatshirts. I NEVER wear them. NEVER. It’s just my opinion that unless you are in super shape, never wear a T-shirt, women! And sweatshirts, to me are ONLY for… well perhaps camping, fishing! But otherwise, they just say sloppy to me or a teen! But, every Christmas- I’d get some sweatshirts with the goofy awful things on them… from the “cutsie” seasonal theme to the ubiquitous teddy bears or flowers… LOL I’d have to say OH CUTE. But into the Salvation Army donation bin they all went.

The worst Christmas gift I ever received was a re-gift from my boss that was a coffee mug that when I opened up the box, there was a note that had my bosses name on it and a tiny message as to why they chose that coffee mug for my boss. I never told my boss about that.

I asked for Bell Biv Devoe’s album with the song poison on it from my grandma when i was a teenager. I guess all the remember was the word poison and I ended up getting a heavy metal cassette. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated rock music back then…lol.

The worst Christmas present I’ve ever gotten was a dress. My Nana always gave me and my sister clothes for Christmas when we were kids. Only clothes. One year, she got us both these HUGE dresses that we called “balloon dresses”. They were WAY too big and made us look like we were wearing sacks. We couldn’t return them because the tags were cut off, and we had no clue where they came from. To this day, I still think about that balloon dress… She gets us much better clothes now, and she sometimes gives us something completely different, but that dress will forever be on my mind…
